Hotel South Tampa & Suites
The place was nice but it was a motel. The name of the hotel is definitely misleading. Its a typical motel layout w the office as soon as you come in and then 2 levels of motel rooms.

Sailport Waterfront Suites
The room was clean. The location was perfect. It is a short trip 15-25 minutes to Tampa, depending on traffic. This hotel is about 30 minutes from Clearwater and St Petersburg beaches. I loved the bonfires on the Tampa bay every night. We rented a 2 bedroom bayside. The balcony was great!!
